(iii) The shield ground wire shall be approximately centered in the
melted area.
(iv)
Preformed solder ring inserts are to melt and flow along the shield
ground wire leads and shield.
(v) A minimum 0.125 inch fillet length is visible under a maximum
power of 4X magnification along the shield ground wire lead and
shield junction on at least one side of the shield ground wire. This
requirement also applies to each shield ground wire of a multiple
shield ground wire termination.
(vi)
Browning or darkening of the sleeve is acceptable unless this
condition inhibits visibility of the solder termination.
(vii)
The materials must not be split, charred, or otherwise damaged to
any extent that that would compromise the insulating integrity of the
sleeve.
(viii)
Inserts are to melt and flow around the circumference of the cable
between the cable jacket and the insulation sleeve to prevent solder
from flowing out of the work area.
(ix)
The melted insert rings must not obstruct visual inspection of the
solder joint.
(x)
A maximum of 1/2 inch wicking up the shield ground wire
(measured from the shield ground wire end of the sleeve) is
allowed.
C. Optional Shield Pull-Out Method
(1) Do not use this procedure for a shield that has flat conductor braid strands.
(2) Remove the cable outer jacket to the point of breakout.
(3) Using a non–metallic awl or similar tool, start a small hole in the shield
braid approximately 0.5 inch from end of outer jacket by spreading the
shield carriers slightly.
(4) Push the shield braid back on the wire(s) to cause it to bunch.
(5) Widen the hole in the shielding by alternately pushing shield carriers back
in each direction.
(6) As the hole enlarges, start bending the wire(s) slightly to allow shield
carriers to be worked down over the bent wire(s) until the wire(s) can be
